Harmy: Any plans to adopt your new avatar? :-D

But I have to say, the first transfer doesn't have that good colors, either. The "right" colors would be somewhere in the between. Because of the better clarity I'd prefer this new one... But this should still be fixed with the audio track at some point. Maybe 30th anniversary?!

I expect they'll do what's right for the 30th anniversary and let's face it: they're going to want the money!

Harmy, you have released RotJ and ESB Despecialized 1.0 and Star Wars 2.0, now make me a sandwich. And btw, please clean my house and feed my cats ;)

You wouldn't happen to have a white cat with greenish glasses, would you?

Pretty big Tull fan here. My dad has almost every album that was released on vinyl, and since I now have inherited his collection many years ago that means I am pretty well stocked on Tull. I grew up listening to his music to the point where I couldn't stand Aqualung because I heard it so often. Of course, 17 years later and I can listen to that song on repeat no problem.

Favourite albums:

-Aqualung

-Heavy Horses

-Broadsword and the Beast (why isn't this album better known???)

With a runner up maybe being Songs from the Wood.

True story, in my european history class we actually had part of a lecture on Jethro Tull, the actual man, and whenever my prof would say "Jethro Tull" someone from the balcony would yell out "YEAH!!" and after the third time our prof had to ask what the heck was going on. Apparently he had no idea who Jethro Tull was. The sad part was the man was in his 30s! It's weird to think that there is now a generational gap between teens and early 20-somethings who know Tull from their baby boomer parents and Rock Band, and those in their late 30s who grew up in the 80s and early 90s when Tull was in decline and not well known.

To be honest though, there are so many Jethro Tull albums that I am pretty sure I have about two that I have never even played yet.

Awesome! I'm glad OT has another Jethro Tull fan!

I was born in the late '80s and my father enjoys Classic Rock, but not Progressive Rock, so I kind-of introduced myself to Tull. Interestingly, the first song I heard by them was not Aqualung... it was Heavy Horses!

The Broadsword and the Beast was their most popular album in Germany. I think the US and UK were too mixed up in Disco to enjoy it in 1982.

Excellent story about your European History class, BTW. I enjoyed reading it :-) YEAH!!!

I very much enjoy the early recordings and own... 

 

• This Was (1968)
• Stand Up (1969)
• Aqualung (1971)
• Thick as a Brick (1972)
• Living in the Past (1972)

 

Nice! Do you enjoy A Passion Play as well?

I have yet to hear it.  I will make a point to, and let you know my reaction.

It definitely requires more than one listen-through to appreciate. It's my favorite album by them, but I find that most people (including fans) either love it or hate it, so YMMV.

Its Lucas. He's getting Harmy to sort out his next releases.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was him. He's a real nutter nowadays.

i'm sure he thinks most of the people here are crazy,

and i would agree as one of them! ha ha

Maybe, but it seems like the fundamental disconnect is that he didn't grow up with Star Wars.

When I was a child, Star Wars was as much a part of my upbringing as any of the more traditional fairy tales.

Any Loose Cannon recon fans here? If so, which ones are in your possession?

I guess I'd call myself a casual fan. Aqualung is the only full album in their discography I've listened to, though.

If you like Aqualung, then check out War Child!

I only have one Jethro Tull album (on vinyl) Broadsword And The Beast.

Excellent album.

That's an excellent album, but I've only ever heard it on CD.

I've come to understand that the best CD release of it is the West German #CCD-1380.

Interestingly, it's been printed as Broadsword And The Beast and The Broadsword And The Beast.

I suspect less. It certainly looks to me like the new transfer has suffered from a modern teal-and-orange digital colour grading.

It definitely looks out-of-whack, but I'm not a good judge of color, as I tend to prefer over-saturation and reds.

I wouldn't call myself a fan as such but I do like some of their recordings.

Which one is Jethro again?

Jethro Tull is the name of the band. Ian Anderson is the well-known front-man.

Sorry but you have fallen victim to a running gag.

Argh! >:-O

Does OT have any Jethro Tull fans?

I'm compiling a list of the best sounding CD releases (non-remastered, as those are usually rubbish) for each album in their discography and I'd like to share/swap notes.

Also, what's up with the colortiming? Is the new transfer more or less like the theatrical release?

Dude, maybe it's just me, but that post feels like a very polite executive giving orders to an employee.

It's not just you.

It's like he's giving you permission to do this, and should be thankful he caught your "mistakes".

I'm sure it's not intentional, but...

He might not be a native speaker of English. I've noticed some (I repeat, not all) non-native speakers (unintentionally, in many cases) come off as brusque and demanding.

Does anyone know if this will be released in the US?

There should be a place for OT'ers to hang out and chat realtime.  Is there one already?

 

EDIT: can somebody point me to a good(free) irc program?  Apparently MIRC costs money now. 

There are plenty, but I'd suggest trying mibbit.com's web-client first.

msycamore: What's wrong with everyone's face in your GOUT image? In particular, look at Luke's face. My (unmodified) GOUT doesn't look like that at all.

I'll be uploading the raw audio this weekend. After that, I'm going to start working on rendering the median'd version, a.k.a., Release v1.1!

-1: Agreed. It does look pretty good.

With that being said, I think this approach deserves more exploration. Would anyone like to meet on IRC to brainstorm?

I'm thinking about purchasing a PDI Deluxe capture card. If I do, can I get it to work with 64-bit Windows; in particular, Windows XP Pro 64-bit?

Can someone please try my method with $CDAA96 instead of $D29628? A screenshot or two would be greatly appreciated. (I don't have access to my computer right now.)

Not cool;)

LOL! This is especially funny considering that you're OP and your username at YouTube is the same as the one you use here.
